[OSM-newbies] openstreetmap and internet explorer

Fri Aug 24 20:07:20 BST 2012

This is really an OpenLayers question.  I recommend posting your issue on
the OpenLayers list.

http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/openlayers-users/

To me, the debugging steps are:
- to figure out whether IE is loading your POI data
- figure out whether your POIs fall within the map envelope
- sniff out any projection issues.

If everything works in FF, but not in IE, I am guessing that your POI data
isn't being loaded.  Or, you have some sort of trailing comma that is
ticking off IE.
